  later

  package
- removed `-extension' option
- removed `-static-extensions' csc option and added `-static-extension NAME'
- `regex' unit: removed `regexp*' and `regex-optimize'

- removed custom declarations and "link-options" and "c-options" declarations
- deprecated "-quiet" option to "chicken" program
- added "-update-db" option to chicken-install
- the compiler now suggests possibly required module-imports
- moved non-standard syntax-definitions into "chicken-syntax" library unit
- the pretty-printer prints the end-of-file object readably now
- alternative conditional execution paths have separate allocation computation
  (previously the allocation of all alternatives was coalesced)
- removed unused "%kmp-search" from "srfi-13" library unit
- expander handles syntax-reexports and makes unexported syntax available
  for exported expanders in import libraries
- added checks in some procedures in the "tcp" library unit
- the macro system has been completely overhauled and converted 
  to hygienic macros
- a macro-aware module system has been added
- added "-sx" option to csi
- removed the following deprecated functions:
   [un]shift!
   andmap ormap
   byte-vector? byte-vector-fill!
   make-byte-vector byte-vector
   byte-vector-set! byte-vector-ref 
   byte-vector->list list->byte-vector
   string->byte-vector byte-vector->string
   byte-vector-length
   make-static-byte-vector static-byte-vector->pointer

- "local" mode, in which locally defined exported toplevel variables can
  be inlined
- new options and declarations "[-]local", "[-]inline-global" and 
"-emit-inline-file"
- optimization levels changed to use inlining:
  -optimize-level 3: enables -inline -local (but *not* -unsafe)
  -optimize-level 4: enables -inline -local -unsafe
- increased default inlining-limit to 20
- support for cross-module inlining
- "make <VARIABLES> bench" runs the benchmark suite
- "chicken-setup" has been replaced by new command line tools
  "chicken-install", "chicken-uninstall" and "chicken-status", which are

  specific repositories
- extension-installation can be done directly from SVN repositories or a local
  file tree
